I'm a speech-language pathologist! I make a little over 100k as a newish SLP in the CA Bay Area and feel fulfilled in my career. Granted, I live and work in an incredibly expensive area. Most SLPs have a salary in the 70-80k range. My advice to anyone who pursues a speech path degree: PLEASE GO TO A STATE SCHOOL. NO ONE CARES WHERE YOU GET YOUR DEGREE. MINIMIZE DEBT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. It's a great field, but not worth accruing a ridiculous amount of debt. This is a degree where clinical skills matter more than clout. As long as you put in the time and effort to network and build your resume while in grad school, you should be good to go!
Christina Derebenskaya I make $116k a year, I have no college degree but I work two corporate security jobs. I have colleagues who make $50/hr without a college degree.
Christina Derebenskaya hello! i’m a senior in high school and speech pathology is a career that really interests me. i saw that communication sciences and disorders is the most common major to take before grad school. the school i was planning on going to doesn’t offer it, what do you suggest i do? should i major in psychology or sociology and if i do, will i still be able to become an SLP? sorry to bother you, i’m just trying to find out as much info as i can.
@@brianaeileencastro2213 Hi Ariana. The easiest and most common way to get into a grad program is by first obtaining a bachelor's degree in the field. With that said, there are some master's programs that will allow you to complete certain prerequisites while already enrolled in the graduate program. I recommend using the ASHA EdFind website, where you can search schools that don't require a bachelor's in speech (desk top version is easier to navigate than mobile). Make sure you still get your shadowing and volunteer hours in as an undergrad. They'll help you boost your application!
Got my bachelors in Economics and an MBA in financial analytics, starting right out of school I was making 45k a year with my bachelors, having recently finished my MBA got a new job around 95k. 27k in loans and that’s with multiple scholarships that helped me get by, hopefully I pay my loans this next year! It’s possible it’s just tedious. I worked 40 hour weeks and did school at night or online whenever I could.
So as far as what specific business majors there really is no right answer. I chose economics in my undergrad because I liked the ability to quantify data and how it can be implemented into policies. My job was as an insurance agent I worked for 3 years in the industry writing and underwriting personal and commercial property. It gave me a lot of experience in sales and hearing no from tons of clients. The best thing I gained was the soft skills to be able to present a product and have it be able to sell itself through high emotional intelligence sales. Soon after I saw that underwriters and actuaries make a lot more so I went for an mba in finance analytics. I ended up as supervisor for loan officers because of my experience and mba. MBA’s are great because they’re malleable to a bunch of different concentrations, mine was finance analytics, I’ve seen others that focus on healthcare, accounting, and even seen some JD MBA programs that are 5 years long after undergrad and you get both your JD to practice law and an MBA setting you up for corporate law which pays well into the 6 figures. I know it’s a long response but I hope it helps!
Yo, can we appreciate the amount of work this guy puts into making these videos. Massive kudos man, your videos are really helpful! May the RUclips algorithm be with you!
This is why I chose to go to Europe for grad school. I’m getting my Masters in International Humanitarian Action for 12,000 euros for the entire degree. American grad schools are wayyy too expensive. It also helps you stand out in the stack of resumes.
If you study biology, your best bet is to become a physicians assistant. You would only have to do a 2 year masters pa program, with no med school, and the median salary is $112,00. I would say that’s a pretty sweet deal. Not to think out the fact that some accredited schools offer a two year pa program fully online. So if you do happen to be a biology major, don’t worry there a a few options out there for you.
I got a MSIT (Master of Science in Information Technology) 20 years ago and have been growing my skills ever since. It was a super smart move and one that has paid off handsomely for me and somewhat unusual as a woman, especially back then.
I'm thinking of getting a MSIT. I have a bachelor's in psychology and work with disabled adults. the MSIT would be a career change. Do you think it would be useless to pursue since I don't have experience in the field?
My daughter has a rare genetic disorder is nonverbal, and sees a speech language pathologist. She is fantastic and I would be hard pressed to think of a career that could possibly be more rewarding than giving a child the ability to communicate. Thanks for your videos. I think they help a lot of people
Yes, I just completed my BS in public health debt free...i intended to go to graduate school but with the state of the world I am wary of gaining debt. I am interested in environmental health or occupational health in a masters program
As someone who’s seen it first hand with my parents in the medical field, the value of a nurse practitioner degree is decreasing because of how many people are getting it- similar to the MBA degree this degree has become easily available online and has been saturating the field
@@nursliman3600 I mean yeah it's not as good as compsci but not everyone needs a deep learning virtual machine. Some people just need to hire someone to set up the computers.
@@chrisreynolds6391 Yes, and CS guys can set up computers just fine, but CIS folks can't write code (unless making an HTML page counts as programming). I'm not saying this arrogantly, I'm actually sad. I thought CIS was my dream degree, but I'm very disappointed to know that it's all fluff. Even business degrees aren't that fluffy, at least they have some solid majors like finance and accounting, etc. I need something that rewards concrete skills, and that is CS.
Or you could do a two year associates at a local college in something that pays more than accounting and uses your biochemistry classes. 1) nursing 2) dental hygienists 3) sonography 4) medical tech Cheaper college tuition Higher pay
I have a Bachelor in Business with a concentration in Accounting & Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Accounting is boring and there’s a corporate ladder climb. Don’t do it unless you have a passion or you’ll probably be miserable. You could make more, have more opportunities, and more flexibility in nursing. Think Nurse Anesthetist or Nurse Practitioner, or travel nursing.
Peace Freedom I hear that I’ve just never been attracted to the medical field. I like crunching numbers and solving problems more hence why I chose accounting. Biochemistry did a lot of the latter not much of the former, something I should’ve realized before my senior year.
I did my undergrad in a BS in IT, now starting on August 31, ill be starting a MS in Information Assurance and Cybersecurity! I am also studying for Security+ as well!
Want an MBA! You can get your MBA online, distance, one day only, weekends only, F/T, or P/T; your choice. It's too easy to get. Fact: 1 out of 25 MBAs on resumes is real!
PhDs can make a ton of money in some circumstances. I interviewed in IB with a polsci undergrad degree and most people who interviewed me had IR or polisci degrees. I learned that having a BS in this field is much more valuable due to exposure to statistics and other quantitative courses. In a global economy a degree in IR when paired with economics major or minor can be very useful on the job market.
The difference between PhDs (and some Masters) in science is funding. Oftentimes PhD students will be paid about $20,000-30,000 a year plus having their tuition covered. That makes earning a PhD a much better investment. But if you have to pay for your own PhD or Masters in science, don’t do it.
@@aisherwasher6959Hard to answer, you have to qualify for a few things, mainly finishing some courses on your high school. But there are not many fix places with studies for example.
Got a biology degree from UC with high GPA and had a hard time finding a job. Run my own successful business but thinking of going back for MBA. Thanks for info 🙏🏿
Gonna chime in on the therapy disciplines (physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech language). These likely have some of the worst debt to income ratios as stated in the video. What isn't mentioned is the consistent devaluing of the degrees and positions. CMS just this year is proposing a 9% cut to all Medicare therapy reimbursement. In plain speech, this means businesses billing for those services will receive less payment for them. This in turn will likely lead to eventual decreases in salaries and difficulty finding desirable jobs. This is a trend likely to continue despite info you find online listing these as highly desirable and satisfying jobs. All of these jobs have good growth rates and decent satisfactions, but you REALLY have to weigh the pros and cons, especially with the enormous tuition required by most schools offering degrees in them. If - like most people considering these careers - you are entertaining the idea of other medical professions and are interested in a better earning potential, I would steer you towards PA, CRNA, CAA, etc. None are necessarily autonomous practitioners but all make far more than any of the above jobs. Just my two cents from a PT.
I know this is a late reply but I was thinking about being a PT myself. I got too stressed out trying to do all my prerequisites and stuff though. But it’s good to hear it may not have been the best choice for me anyway. Now I want to be a phys ed teacher.
An MBA and an MPH (masters in public health) are similar as when coupled with another degree they complement and even add more value to your skillset; an MBA being valuable for leadership in a business and an MPH valuable for leadership in the field of science (e.g. M.D.-MPH). Degrees can be expensive, but I feel that most of the time it is due to people frequently changing mayors (i.e. taking more classes), to trying to go to expensive schools and not taking school seriously. At least in California, you can go your closest community college and then transfer as a junior for your undergraduate. This effectively cuts your total cost for your degree and being small there is a more personalized, and with quality, educational experience. More importantly, we often forget that the most valuable assets we have are our professors. They are able to share their experiences as students as professionals and may even help us in other ways that enrich our experience giving us more skills that can even be applied outside of academia. Bottom line, the value of masters degrees depends on the field of study which we may only know by either working in the field, talking to professors or both; it is mainly when we become apathic towards school when we waste time and money and we end up in massive debt in loans.
A masters will allow you to teach at a community college or small liberal arts (aka rinky-dink) 4-year college. (You know the type. If you are over a 100 mile radius outside the college location, everyone asks "where's that?" or "never heard of it"). If you think you're going to teach at a full-fledged university (public or private), as they say in Noo Yawk : "Fageht about it!"
I’m glad you mentioned that the data was a bit questionable. I was looking at grad school programs at state schools and the cost for a resident was between $600-800 a credit.
Hes right about stem degrees. Chemisty, biology and physics degrees are not on the same level as mathematics and technology degrees. Me and my friends all got undergrads in biology and chemistry and its not that they’re useless, but it becomes very apparent that you will need more advanced education before you’re able to do literally anything in those fields. If you can’t do math and tech or you don’t want to do more schooling just avoid stem all together. Go do business or psych.
Tuition at the graduate level for most public colleges in FL is $500/credit hour. Masters degree = 30 credits --> 15K for a masters degree. In Mechanical Engineering, this will bump your average entry level salary up by 10K. Extrapolate this gradient across a 40 year long career and its kind of crazy to consider Master's Degrees as stereotypically expensive. My advice would be get your head out of the clouds and stop wanting to go to ivy league/private universities (unless your parents can pay for it)
CNA -> RN -> NP. You're making money the whole way. Doesn't have to be really expensive either. EMT-B -> EMT-P (paramedic) -> PA. Again, making money the whole way. PA school will likely be a bit more expensive than an NP. Medic school is always cheaper than nursing.
one thing to note about the Masters in Data Science degree, a lot of people that go into that degree want to get into ML. unfortunately, in industry, since the role of a data scientist is so new and undefined, data scientists in industry tend to be put into a variety of roles. some data scientists are nothing more than glorified business analysts (aka business intelligence or BI) in which case they more or less just build models in excel, some data scientists (especially if they work in small tech companies) are more like software engineers because they have to build data collection and data input pipelines, and some data scientists are more like machine learning engineers/researchers where they have to read papers and build models which requires an incredible amount of math. if your goal is to get into ML, i think a data science degree might not be the best way in because the ML that's taught in data science tends to be fairly simple basic ML algorithms (like shallow neural nets, decision trees, bayesian machine learning techniques) not much deep learning (like convolutional nets, recurrent nets, transfer learning, GANs, etc); most of the deep learning material is covered in a CS masters. if you're trying to get into a data science role, i still think a masters in stats or CS or math would be better (from what i've seen, masters in math might not be as applicable as a masters in stats or CS, but i know A LOT of people in data science with advance degrees in math and physics). now that's not to say that a data science degree is bad, i just think that for the people who are trying to get jobs in the data science field (especially for people who are trying to get jobs related to deep learning), a data science degree might not be the most straightforward path into the industry. btw i'm currently a CS masters student and i'm also working as an ML engineer.
I’m probably going to get a masters in applied math or statistics. I’m going to go into either data science or quantitative finance. Good thing is, 90%+ of the job openings for data science hire people with masters in applied mathematics.
I struggled so much in college with my mental health so it really messed up my GPA. I graduate with my bachelors degree in a couple weeks but its with psychology. I really wanted to go into clinical mental health counseling but I just found out about its debt to income ratio a few days ago. So now im trying to find a new path for grad school that won't put me into debt
Congrats on graduating! I wouldn't be too put off about the income, especially if it's something you're passionate about. Hope you find the right path for you.
@@xRevoGaming-10 hi, yes! one thing led to another and I found myself always getting short term jobs in the autism/disabilities field. after graduation I got a full time job at a company. I already had experience with aba. The top of the job "ladder" in aba is to be a bcba. it requires grad school, but there's an online school (capella) that doesn't need a high GPA. bcba depending on the state has a wide pay range but at least in on the east side of USA all the bcba's I've met earn a salary $70k+ (ny state). the longer in the field the more money I suppose. You need grad school, supervision hours (you will be working as some type of aba related position whether in a school setting or a day program or wherever, and most jobs will give you supervision hours for free), and then you need to pass the big exam after everything for licensing. the aba field falls under the psych career umbrella.
Teaching is usually a government job. You get pay raises every year. That’s not a pyramid scheme. If you have a masters in California you should get to 100k a year or close. If your a professor you start at 100k or close
10 years of military law enforcement experience (law enforcement and SWAT) Associates in criminal justice Bachelors in Intelligence Studies with a concentration in Counterintelligence Still can't land a job that pays higher than minimum wage in the civilian job market. That's ridiculous. I'm about to just start a masters program to keep moving forward academically at the very least. So the whole, "get your degree and you'll be set" thing. Yea not so much. The whole, "get experience". Yup. Got that too. Still nothing. Yet, I keep being told college students fresh from a bachelors are landing jobs starting at 60k a year. HOW.
MBA’s are not created equal. Where you get your MBA should depend on what you’re trying to do. For example: if you’re ambitious and want a management level job in a Fortune 500 company, you should look at top tier MBA programs. It gives you a competitive advantage. However, if you already work at a company, want to move up, and they require managers to have MBA’s, you can go to online school or the local college.
Watching all these video's, I'm really happy to live in Europe instead of the US. NO ONE get's into massive dept here, at least not because of their studies. NO ONE.
Also...I second your philosophy about getting a 4 year degree and then building on it. I started out in nursing by getting an associates so that I could work and earn money to pay tuition for a bridge program. At the end of the bridge program I had a BSN. I continued to work while earning my MSN and becoming an FNP. I am still working and just graduated with my DNP. Because I worked the entire time I have zero student debt. I did take out a loan for the MSN, but paid it off very quickly due to my increase in income.
It really does depend. I got a masters degree in psychology. Was horrible financial decision at first. But I found out what I was passionate about and earned a certificate in ABA. Which then tripled my salary. Everything works out in the end.
I've just finished my BSc final exam . & my major is Physics. in my country ,people generally don't respect or value a physics degree. the moment he said this degree is highly respected, i felt soo happy ( even though i'm not that good at physics)
Ok I promise I'm not spamming lol. I just always have new questions with each video. So masters in data science vs masters in computer science vs MIS vs boot camp (all cheap low tier schools) (context undergrad chemistry and math, mid level transactional finance work at top global custodial bank, no room for growth in role/dept; interest in tech. Did chemistry for parents 🥴🤣)
I would caution against becoming a NP or PA. Idk about other hospitals but one of the hospitals that I live near has departments starting to ban the hire of nurse practitioners and PA’s. Also, they’re awful. I have yet to have a good experience with NP’s and I have a feeling that if I am dissatisfied with a NP’s lack of knowledge, other people are too. I have a feeling there’s gonna be a dip in demand for them.
If you choose your industry correctly then a bachelors and a professional certificate should be enough to make six figures. For a masters, if you choose wisely, should increase your income 50%~100%. Unless a doctorate allows you to make $500K+ per year then it isn’t worth it.
Shane, you commonly question psychology degrees (MA/S, Ph.D./PsyD). There are various specializations, though. From counseling to I-O Psychology and vastly different pay sales. Perhaps that’s worth looking into.
I found an "E-business" master's program on a very good University. You can choose three specializations -internet marketing -company management in e-business -information technology management What do you think of that?
hey shane can you make a video on how to make a resume after college and after you get some work experience (and can you show your resume fresh after college and your current one) love the content
Top MBA at an M7 school like Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, Columbia, etc. is absolutely unstoppable and maybe the best graduate degree you can get. Average base salaries around 150-160k with average signing bonuses of 30-45k for these grads. That doesn’t even include year-end bonuses too which can be add a whole lot more. In the business/finance world, prestige of school matters the most and being at a top tier college will set you up miles ahead of a run-of-the-mill MBA which is almost worthless in today’s economy.
Hmmm this video was interesting it made me change my perspective on things and reconsider if I want to live a certain lifestyle and not suffer in the future I have to re-think what I’m going for
I mean, Not all professors teach only. And not all students want to become teachers. So what do you mean by teaching teachers to become teachers? You mean the PhD students? Many professors do research as well as teach, and their students often want to become research professors or scientists themselves, not just teachers
You should make a video for the best Double Majors! Love the videos btw! (hoping to get a degree in Physics, Economics, and Mathematics, maybe a Phd...)
The ratio of 1:8 or $100k/180k, is not even an apple to apple ratio. The formal is yearly income, the latter is one time expense (may be with interest may be not). So this incorrect formula makes the conclusion incorrect.
I got a bachelor's degree in Liberal studies, with that degree the only thing that I could do was teach Elementary School. Well, I discovered that I don't like teaching kids so now I'm going back to school to get my Master's Degree in Social Work. PLEASE do a RUclips video on Masters degrees in social work. Am I doing the right thing. I'm currently working as a social worker but on a low pay scale in order for me to get on the higher payscale I need a master's degree.
@@ShaneHummus It would be awesome if you could talk about malpractice lawyers and intellectual property lawyers. One of your ranking videos would be great with the highest paying/ unsaturated law fields
What are your thoughts on getting a masters of accounting(Macc), not an mba? I attend the university of tennessee in knoxville and I am pursuing an BS in Accounting. As Im sure you know, to be eligible for the CPA exam, you have to have 150 credit hours and an undergrad is only 120. Now I am not sure if I will take the CPA exam but being eligible is something I probably want to be. One thing to point out is that our masters in accounting program allows those that have gotten an accounting degree(or completed the acc classes) from the university of tennessee to be exempt from submitting GMAT scores. They encourage us undergrad students in accounting pursue this degree right after we graduate with our 4 year degree, but I am not sure if I should wait until later on in life to get an MBA or go ahead and get a Masters degree in Accounting right off the bat(or wait to get an Macc). Other side information: I will be graduating with no debt from my undergraduate degree and the program is an 11 month program that will cost in total about $35,000 to complete. Thoughts? Appreciate you and the insightful videos you make!
So there is Accociates Degree History degree Bachelors Degree Master degree I'm 10 and going to 5th grade and through the 7 years I have left I am gonna work towards getting my Masters degree Along with a Bachelors degree and Thats it
Great list, I personally think an MBA is a waste if you already have a business degree. It’s great for engineers to join management. I’m currently in my Masters of Taxation.
Can confirm that here in the SF Bay Area / Silicon Valley, every single Data Science / AI / Algorithms researcher position requires an MS or PhD (or pursuing either) to be considered.

@@chrisreynolds6391 Yes, and CS guys can set up computers just fine, but CIS folks can't write code (unless making an HTML page counts as programming). I'm not saying this arrogantly, I'm actually sad. I thought CIS was my dream degree, but I'm very disappointed to know that it's all fluff. Even business degrees aren't that fluffy, at least they have some solid majors like finance and accounting, etc. I need something that rewards concrete skills, and that is CS.
Got my bachelors in biochemistry couldn’t find a job, now I’m going for my masters in accounting thankfully my local school is really cheap.
Good luck Roberto
What sch is that?
Or you could do a two year associates at a local college in something that pays more than accounting and uses your biochemistry classes.
1) nursing
2) dental hygienists
3) sonography
4) medical tech
Cheaper college tuition
Higher pay
I have a Bachelor in Business with a concentration in Accounting & Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Accounting is boring and there’s a corporate ladder climb. Don’t do it unless you have a passion or you’ll probably be miserable. You could make more, have more opportunities, and more flexibility in nursing. Think Nurse Anesthetist or Nurse Practitioner, or travel nursing.
Peace Freedom I hear that I’ve just never been attracted to the medical field. I like crunching numbers and solving problems more hence why I chose accounting. Biochemistry did a lot of the latter not much of the former, something I should’ve realized before my senior year.
I did my undergrad in a BS in IT, now starting on August 31, ill be starting a MS in Information Assurance and Cybersecurity! I am also studying for Security+ as well!
That sounds solid.. Good luck
@@ShaneHummus Thanks!
From what university are you getting your masters ?
I’m researching programs .....
I would love to see a best/worst reasons or educational backgrounds to getting an MBA.
Thanks for your suggestion Andrew
Want an MBA! You can get your MBA online, distance, one day only, weekends only, F/T, or P/T; your choice. It's too easy to get. Fact: 1 out of 25 MBAs on resumes is real!
I'm still waiting for the international relations or basically social sciences tier video 😭😭
Stay tuned
PhDs can make a ton of money in some circumstances. I interviewed in IB with a polsci undergrad degree and most people who interviewed me had IR or polisci degrees. I learned that having a BS in this field is much more valuable due to exposure to statistics and other quantitative courses. In a global economy a degree in IR when paired with economics major or minor can be very useful on the job market.
Me too
@@booe34 thank you 💚
Also, please do an MBA specialization tier list video! :)
Noted!
Shane have you done an MBA tier list
I am glued to these videos even though I discovered them after graduation lol
Thanks for being here Dylan. Hope you like the videos
I've just done my PhD in Electronics and Computing from UCLA probably free with full rife scholarship!!!!
Wow! that's awesome
Nursing is the first one, but meanwhile, nurses are so exhausted and quitting at higher rates than ever.
The difference between PhDs (and some Masters) in science is funding. Oftentimes PhD students will be paid about $20,000-30,000 a year plus having their tuition covered. That makes earning a PhD a much better investment. But if you have to pay for your own PhD or Masters in science, don’t do it.
Right Naomi
When i watch this kind of videos, I'm happy to be Dutch. Where degrees are affordable and of high quality. Good luck over there in the states!
Wow, you're lucky to be there
Hi Dmeer! I'm curious: is it easy to get into programs of your choice out there?
@@aisherwasher6959Hard to answer, you have to qualify for a few things, mainly finishing some courses on your high school. But there are not many fix places with studies for example.
Got a biology degree from UC with high GPA and had a hard time finding a job. Run my own successful business but thinking of going back for MBA. Thanks for info 🙏🏿
Gonna chime in on the therapy disciplines (physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech language). These likely have some of the worst debt to income ratios as stated in the video. What isn't mentioned is the consistent devaluing of the degrees and positions. CMS just this year is proposing a 9% cut to all Medicare therapy reimbursement. In plain speech, this means businesses billing for those services will receive less payment for them. This in turn will likely lead to eventual decreases in salaries and difficulty finding desirable jobs. This is a trend likely to continue despite info you find online listing these as highly desirable and satisfying jobs. All of these jobs have good growth rates and decent satisfactions, but you REALLY have to weigh the pros and cons, especially with the enormous tuition required by most schools offering degrees in them. If - like most people considering these careers - you are entertaining the idea of other medical professions and are interested in a better earning potential, I would steer you towards PA, CRNA, CAA, etc. None are necessarily autonomous practitioners but all make far more than any of the above jobs. Just my two cents from a PT.
Thanks for watching
I know this is a late reply but I was thinking about being a PT myself. I got too stressed out trying to do all my prerequisites and stuff though. But it’s good to hear it may not have been the best choice for me anyway. Now I want to be a phys ed teacher.
Video idea: Degrees in which it's the most worth getting a Master's/PhD
Hmmm.. Noted Adam
Imagine thinking your masters degree didn’t make the list but Shane just happened to put it at the #1 spot, great content man.
haha thanks for watching
I love the edits. You know how to keep your audience engaged 😉
Been experimenting a lot, thank you!
An MBA and an MPH (masters in public health) are similar as when coupled with another degree they complement and even add more value to your skillset; an MBA being valuable for leadership in a business and an MPH valuable for leadership in the field of science (e.g. M.D.-MPH). Degrees can be expensive, but I feel that most of the time it is due to people frequently changing mayors (i.e. taking more classes), to trying to go to expensive schools and not taking school seriously. At least in California, you can go your closest community college and then transfer as a junior for your undergraduate. This effectively cuts your total cost for your degree and being small there is a more personalized, and with quality, educational experience. More importantly, we often forget that the most valuable assets we have are our professors. They are able to share their experiences as students as professionals and may even help us in other ways that enrich our experience giving us more skills that can even be applied outside of academia. Bottom line, the value of masters degrees depends on the field of study which we may only know by either working in the field, talking to professors or both; it is mainly when we become apathic towards school when we waste time and money and we end up in massive debt in loans.
Good point Alejandro
Thank God I was born and raised in Italy and I'll never be in so much debt...
Good for you
A degree from an Italian university doesn't carry the same weight as one from the US though.
@@remitto8367 ya but u can study in any European university
Remitto that isn’t true, it depends on the university and where you want to studt
*work
A masters will allow you to teach at a community college or small liberal arts (aka rinky-dink) 4-year college. (You know the type. If you are over a 100 mile radius outside the college location, everyone asks "where's that?" or "never heard of it"). If you think you're going to teach at a full-fledged university (public or private), as they say in Noo Yawk : "Fageht about it!"
Old video but these are helpful. I’m in tech and debating my masters. I don’t think it will help me earn more but my work could fully pay for it
I’m glad you mentioned that the data was a bit questionable. I was looking at grad school programs at state schools and the cost for a resident was between $600-800 a credit.
Learning more about college from Shane then in my avid class 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thanks for watching Jason
Shane! We need a Masters degree in Legal Studies (not a JD). It’s like an MBA in Law instead of Business.
Mr. Hummus, GR8 presentation for those who seek graduate-level training, but heartbreaking for those not strong in math and science. Thumbs-Up.
Thanks for your feedback
@@ShaneHummus Mr. Hummus, respect to you and your team. thank you.
Hes right about stem degrees. Chemisty, biology and physics degrees are not on the same level as mathematics and technology degrees. Me and my friends all got undergrads in biology and chemistry and its not that they’re useless, but it becomes very apparent that you will need more advanced education before you’re able to do literally anything in those fields. If you can’t do math and tech or you don’t want to do more schooling just avoid stem all together. Go do business or psych.
Great video Shane! we appreciate all the effort making videos like this to educate us about practical choices in our career.
You got it

Tuition at the graduate level for most public colleges in FL is $500/credit hour. Masters degree = 30 credits --> 15K for a masters degree.
In Mechanical Engineering, this will bump your average entry level salary up by 10K. Extrapolate this gradient across a 40 year long career and its kind of crazy to consider Master's Degrees as stereotypically expensive. My advice would be get your head out of the clouds and stop wanting to go to ivy league/private universities (unless your parents can pay for it)
Thanks for sharing that
CNA -> RN -> NP. You're making money the whole way. Doesn't have to be really expensive either.
EMT-B -> EMT-P (paramedic) -> PA. Again, making money the whole way. PA school will likely be a bit more expensive than an NP. Medic school is always cheaper than nursing.
Thanks for sharing that Kevin
one thing to note about the Masters in Data Science degree, a lot of people that go into that degree want to get into ML. unfortunately, in industry, since the role of a data scientist is so new and undefined, data scientists in industry tend to be put into a variety of roles. some data scientists are nothing more than glorified business analysts (aka business intelligence or BI) in which case they more or less just build models in excel, some data scientists (especially if they work in small tech companies) are more like software engineers because they have to build data collection and data input pipelines, and some data scientists are more like machine learning engineers/researchers where they have to read papers and build models which requires an incredible amount of math. if your goal is to get into ML, i think a data science degree might not be the best way in because the ML that's taught in data science tends to be fairly simple basic ML algorithms (like shallow neural nets, decision trees, bayesian machine learning techniques) not much deep learning (like convolutional nets, recurrent nets, transfer learning, GANs, etc); most of the deep learning material is covered in a CS masters. if you're trying to get into a data science role, i still think a masters in stats or CS or math would be better (from what i've seen, masters in math might not be as applicable as a masters in stats or CS, but i know A LOT of people in data science with advance degrees in math and physics).
now that's not to say that a data science degree is bad, i just think that for the people who are trying to get jobs in the data science field (especially for people who are trying to get jobs related to deep learning), a data science degree might not be the most straightforward path into the industry. btw i'm currently a CS masters student and i'm also working as an ML engineer.
Good point Minh. Thanks for sharing your insights
Inflations is so bad right now. These $79,000 a year and $80,000 a year doesnt sound too enticing at all.
I’m probably going to get a masters in applied math or statistics. I’m going to go into either data science or quantitative finance.
Good thing is, 90%+ of the job openings for data science hire people with masters in applied mathematics.
Cool! I plan on following a similar path, applied economics or finance, and eventually becoming a CEO, CFO, or entrepreneur
Good luck!
Great career option and growing demand for it globally. Something related is Biometric data analyst.
I struggled so much in college with my mental health so it really messed up my GPA. I graduate with my bachelors degree in a couple weeks but its with psychology. I really wanted to go into clinical mental health counseling but I just found out about its debt to income ratio a few days ago. So now im trying to find a new path for grad school that won't put me into debt
licensed clinical counseling social worker
@@kerriamines I'll look into that. Thanks!
Congrats on graduating! I wouldn't be too put off about the income, especially if it's something you're passionate about. Hope you find the right path for you.
Hey did you figure it out? I am in the same situation and was hoping some advice :)
@@xRevoGaming-10 hi, yes! one thing led to another and I found myself always getting short term jobs in the autism/disabilities field. after graduation I got a full time job at a company. I already had experience with aba. The top of the job "ladder" in aba is to be a bcba. it requires grad school, but there's an online school (capella) that doesn't need a high GPA. bcba depending on the state has a wide pay range but at least in on the east side of USA all the bcba's I've met earn a salary $70k+ (ny state). the longer in the field the more money I suppose. You need grad school, supervision hours (you will be working as some type of aba related position whether in a school setting or a day program or wherever, and most jobs will give you supervision hours for free), and then you need to pass the big exam after everything for licensing. the aba field falls under the psych career umbrella.
Teaching is usually a government job. You get pay raises every year. That’s not a pyramid scheme. If you have a masters in California you should get to 100k a year or close. If your a professor you start at 100k or close
10 years of military law enforcement experience (law enforcement and SWAT)
Associates in criminal justice
Bachelors in Intelligence Studies with a concentration in Counterintelligence
Still can't land a job that pays higher than minimum wage in the civilian job market. That's ridiculous. I'm about to just start a masters program to keep moving forward academically at the very least.
So the whole, "get your degree and you'll be set" thing. Yea not so much. The whole, "get experience". Yup. Got that too. Still nothing. Yet, I keep being told college students fresh from a bachelors are landing jobs starting at 60k a year. HOW.
MBA’s are not created equal. Where you get your MBA should depend on what you’re trying to do. For example: if you’re ambitious and want a management level job in a Fortune 500 company, you should look at top tier MBA programs. It gives you a competitive advantage. However, if you already work at a company, want to move up, and they require managers to have MBA’s, you can go to online school or the local college.
Well said
Watching all these video's, I'm really happy to live in Europe instead of the US. NO ONE get's into massive dept here, at least not because of their studies. NO ONE.

Good luck!
Thanks for the shout out to NPs!!! We have amazing jobs! I love what I do and it’s totally worth it!
Welcome!
Also...I second your philosophy about getting a 4 year degree and then building on it. I started out in nursing by getting an associates so that I could work and earn money to pay tuition for a bridge program. At the end of the bridge program I had a BSN. I continued to work while earning my MSN and becoming an FNP. I am still working and just graduated with my DNP. Because I worked the entire time I have zero student debt. I did take out a loan for the MSN, but paid it off very quickly due to my increase in income.
Why not make a tier list for Star Wars my guy? I’d love to see it

Applied Math, Engineering, Physics, and Statistics.
It really does depend. I got a masters degree in psychology. Was horrible financial decision at first. But I found out what I was passionate about and earned a certificate in ABA. Which then tripled my salary. Everything works out in the end.
Thanks for sharing Miranda.. Some tips for the viewers if you could
I've just finished my BSc final exam . & my major is Physics. in my country ,people generally don't respect or value a physics degree. the moment he said this degree is highly respected, i felt soo happy ( even though i'm not that good at physics)
Ok I promise I'm not spamming lol. I just always have new questions with each video. So masters in data science vs masters in computer science vs MIS vs boot camp (all cheap low tier schools) (context undergrad chemistry and math, mid level transactional
finance work at top global custodial bank, no room for growth in role/dept; interest in tech. Did chemistry for parents 🥴🤣)
No worries Natacha 😂 I might make a video for that in the future
I would caution against becoming a NP or PA. Idk about other hospitals but one of the hospitals that I live near has departments starting to ban the hire of nurse practitioners and PA’s. Also, they’re awful. I have yet to have a good experience with NP’s and I have a feeling that if I am dissatisfied with a NP’s lack of knowledge, other people are too. I have a feeling there’s gonna be a dip in demand for them.
Still one of the best channels evahhhh!!! Great vid Shane!

If you choose your industry correctly then a bachelors and a professional certificate should be enough to make six figures. For a masters, if you choose wisely, should increase your income 50%~100%. Unless a doctorate allows you to make $500K+ per year then it isn’t worth it.
Shane, you commonly question psychology degrees (MA/S, Ph.D./PsyD). There are various specializations, though. From counseling to I-O Psychology and vastly different pay sales. Perhaps that’s worth looking into.
Thanks for your input. I respect that
I found an "E-business" master's program on a very good University.
You can choose three specializations
-internet marketing
-company management in e-business
-information technology management
What do you think of that?
Even modern "e business" degrees wont teach you EVERYTHING about online business you need to know, but it is a good start!
I would personally say option 1 or 3, just my opinion
Might have a video for you. Stay tuned

I agree 💯😊
You opened with starwars and got an immediate subscribe thank you for your service
MBAs are one of the degrees that if you get a into a high ranking programming then do it, but really a top 20 is what you should do
Top MBA at an M7 school like Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, Columbia, etc. is absolutely unstoppable and maybe the best graduate degree you can get. Average base salaries around 150-160k with average signing bonuses of 30-45k for these grads. That doesn’t even include year-end bonuses too which can be add a whole lot more. In the business/finance world, prestige of school matters the most and being at a top tier college will set you up miles ahead of a run-of-the-mill MBA which is almost worthless in today’s economy.

I mean, Not all professors teach only. And not all students want to become teachers. So what do you mean by teaching teachers to become teachers? You mean the PhD students? Many professors do research as well as teach, and their students often want to become research professors or scientists themselves, not just teachers
You should make a video for the best Double Majors! Love the videos btw! (hoping to get a degree in Physics, Economics, and Mathematics, maybe a Phd...)

The ratio of 1:8 or $100k/180k, is not even an apple to apple ratio. The formal is yearly income, the latter is one time expense (may be with interest may be not). So this incorrect formula makes the conclusion incorrect.
I got a bachelor's degree in Liberal studies, with that degree the only thing that I could do was teach Elementary School.

What are your thoughts on getting a masters of accounting(Macc), not an mba? I attend the university of tennessee in knoxville and I am pursuing an BS in Accounting. As Im sure you know, to be eligible for the CPA exam, you have to have 150 credit hours and an undergrad is only 120. Now I am not sure if I will take the CPA exam but being eligible is something I probably want to be. One thing to point out is that our masters in accounting program allows those that have gotten an accounting degree(or completed the acc classes) from the university of tennessee to be exempt from submitting GMAT scores. They encourage us undergrad students in accounting pursue this degree right after we graduate with our 4 year degree, but I am not sure if I should wait until later on in life to get an MBA or go ahead and get a Masters degree in Accounting right off the bat(or wait to get an Macc). Other side information: I will be graduating with no debt from my undergraduate degree and the program is an 11 month program that will cost in total about $35,000 to complete. Thoughts? Appreciate you and the insightful videos you make!
